Re-imagined Trash Can

I've had this trash can probably since I was about fourteen, back when one of my favorite colors was pink (it definitely isn't one of my favorite colors now). Over the years I've still kept it in my room and use it, but last night I decided I was tired of looking at that pink, and wanted to try out something new with it since there's no point in throwing away a perfectly fine item.

Items needed: 
Scissors
Jute (any thickness you want)
Trash Can
Hot Glue
Patience ;)

Here is the beginning picture. And I must say, this took me over four hours total to do. If I ever decide to do a project like this again, I will definitely pick a thicker size of jute, because this got just down right annoying and difficult.




 To get to this point, I was probably about an hour and a half into it, and that's with me working on it constantly and not taking my eyes off of it. :)


 Half way there! Time to go to bed and get back at it in the morning. :) This definitely got easier as I went on, since I decided to start at the top where it was wider, and so it felt easier and less time consuming to do as I reached closer to the bottom.


 Ta-da! I really love how it turned out, and am grateful I didn't run out of jute or hot glue, even though it did come close. :) I would say it looks pretty awesome for my first time, and I'm really proud of it, considering how much patience and time it took to do. Thanks for reading!
